Charlotte was frustrated the moment she heard the engaged tone of the phone. He's really inconsiderate! He insists on me reaching there within half an hour although I'm really far away!
She then received a message notification. She clicked open the message and searched for the address with GPS. Even if I manage to take a taxi now, it'll still take me forty minutes to be there! If I drag again and keep the Devil waiting...
Charlotte shuddered as she pictured his cold eyes in her mind. Without hesitation, she called for a cab.
Upon putting down her phone, she looked again at the items left behind by her father. Complex feelings rose within her once more.
She contemplated for a while and took out both the bank card and the black card from her purse back into the silver file.
She folded her father's letter nicely and restored everything into its original position in the red wooden box. Finally, she locked the box and put it back into the safe.
Having closed the safe carefully, she quickly left the place...
Charlotte kept urging the cab driver to speed up. When she finally reached the destination, she was already eleven minutes late.
Once she got out of the cab, Raina immediately approached her with an umbrella and reminded her in a low voice, “Ms. Windt, today is a special day for Mr. Nacht. I must warn you that he's currently not in a good mood.”
“Huh?” Charlotte asked anxiously, “Is there any special occasion today?”
“You'll know soon,” Raina replied softly, “No matter what, try your best not to infuriate him today.”
“Understood...” Charlotte furrowed her brows and quickened her pace.
Zachary was seated near the window, gazing at the rain outside in silence.
“Sorry, I'm late...” Charlotte apologized softly, “I've actually tried to get a taxi right after receiving your message, but I was quite far away from here, so...”
Zachary turned to look at her placidly.
“You're not angry, are you?” Charlotte looked at him timidly.
“Where did you go just now?” Zachary raised his eyes and stared at her.
“The mausoleum,” Charlotte replied honestly, “I went to pay my father a visit.”
There was nothing she could not hide from him, except the secret related to the items left behind by her father.
